Rovers come unstuck

Rovers’ recent unbeaten run came to an end in falling to Border Amateur ‘C’ Division leaders Tweedmouth.

Talking of matters, Rovers manager Darren McElrath said: “It just wasn’t our day. The boys all tried very hard and put a lot of effort in but we never really got a foothold in the game. We had chances in the first half but didn’t put the ball in the net. Tweedmouth are a very good side and we gave them a game, though.”

The woodwork robbed the Hawick outfit of a goal in the first half when John Shankie hit the bar with a well-struck drive.

Michael Moir and Sean Clarke also came close to scoring before Tweedmouth took the lead ten minutes from the break.
